OlL-STOVE.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 535,778, dated March12, 1895.

Application tiled October 29, 1894. Serial No. 527,139. (No model.)

To all whom t may concern:

Be it known that I, ALLIE R. WELCH, a citizen of the United States,residing at Chelsea, in the county of Washtenaw and State of Michigan,have invented certain new and use-l ful Improvements in Oil-Stoves, ofwhich the following is a specification, reference being had therein tothe accompanying drawings.

The invention consists in the peculiar construction of the base and inthe peculiar construction of the drip pan and its support, whereby I amenabled to dispense with the ordinary roller base usually employed wherea drip pan is used, and further in the construction, arrangement andcombination of the various parts.

In the drawings, Figure l is an elevation of a stove embodying myinvention, showing the base in section. Fig. 2 is an enlarged sectionthrough one of the legs and the base rings. Fig. 3 is a horizontalsection on line on :I: of Fig. l. Fig. 4 is a perspective View of thehinge joint between the body and base.

A is the lower ring of the base.

B are the legs which have shoulders C engaging beneath the lower edge ofthe base. The legs have an upwardly curved projection D extending overthe top of the base ring A, and through which pass the securing bolts Ewhich secure the lower base ring thereto.

F is a vertical extension of the leg from the top of the projection Dhaving a shouldered bearing Cr at the top to which is secured the topring H of the base.

a is an annular Flange on the under face of the ring H and b is anannular flange on top of the lower base ring A,fro1n which is secu redthe cylindrical casing I.

J are bolts for securing the ring H to the shouldered bearing Gr.V Thusthe casing I is clamped tightly between the upper and lower base ringsby the vertical extension of the legs and the securing bolts. The legshave the usual horizontal feet K hollowed out ou the under side.

L are lugs formed by an inward extension of the wall of the horizontalfeet K of the legs and at their inner ends is supported the pivot pin Lof casters M which are free to SWin g beneath `the hollow horizontalfoot.

.R at its bottom edge.

By pivoting the casters at the inner end of these lugs the caster ispractically hidden from view at all points in its movement.

N is a ring preferably of sheet metal sup` ported on the lugs L fittingthe inner face of the legs which thus hold it rigidly in position. Thisring is centrally apertured and in this aperture is supported thedetachable drip pan O beneath the central aperture in the oil tank P.This oil tank is supported on the depressed ring Q formed on, the inneredge of the lower base ring A.

R is the stove top which has the daring ring The tank is provided withthe outwardly projecting filling nozzle T on its rear face whichprojects through a yoke T formed at this point in the ring H.

At the top of the yoke on both sides thereof are the arms S and besidethese are the lugs S.

U are arms extending from the rear face of the ring R of the top and Uare pivot pins ex` tending through the outer ends of these arms on thetwo rings. Between the arms U the ring R is provided with the arch V.The body of the stove may be tipped back to expose the burner as shownin Fig. l, turning upon the pivotpins U and will remain supported inthat position by the extensions V on the arms U, striking against theupper face of the lugs S on the upper ring of the base, as plainly shownin Figs. l and 4. This construction is exceedingly simple,very rigid andcheapens the manufacture of such stoves.

What I claim as my invention is- 1. In an oil stove, the combination inthe base, of a lower ring, legs having ya shoulder engaging beneath theouter edge of the ring, projections on the legs extending over the faceof the ring, bolts passing through the projections and ring, verticalextensions ot' the projections of the legs, a shouldered bearing at theupper end of the extensions, an upper ring resting in the bearings,securing bolts passing through the bearings and upper ring and acylindrical casing interposed and clamped between the upper and lowerrings, substantially as described.

2. In an oil stove, the combination with the base, of an oil tanksupported therein having IOO a rearwardly extending filling nozzle,-anup" arms on the bottom body ring, substantially Io per ring on the basehaving a yoke dependas described. ing below the nozzle, a lower flaringbottom In testimony whereof I aiix my signature ring on the stove body,having an arch over in presence of two witnesses.

5 the nozzle, arms projecting from the top of the yoke on the top ringof the base and ALLIE R WELCH' from beside the arch on the bottom ring,pivot Witnesses: pins passing through the arms and shoulders M. U.DAVIS, on the upper base ring acting as stops for the M. V. STIMSON.
